Gorilla Glue #4 (GG4)

Gorilla Glue #4 — also marketed as Original Glue or GG4 — earned multiple Cannabis Cup awards upon its debut and immediately became one of the benchmarks for high-potency cannabis. Created accidentally when Joesy Whales' Chem Sis plants were pollinated by Sour Dubb, the resulting strain combined extreme resin production with THC levels that regularly exceed 25% and can reach 30%. For Australian patients with treatment-resistant conditions, GG4 represents the highest tier of flower potency.

Treatment-Resistant Conditions

GG4 is specifically recommended for patients whose symptoms haven't responded adequately to moderate-potency strains. This includes severe chronic pain conditions such as complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), advanced arthritis, spinal cord injuries, and cancer-related pain. The overwhelming THC content provides analgesic effects that match or exceed pharmaceutical options, while the heavy body stone helps patients achieve the deep physical rest their conditions demand.

Sedation & Sleep

The "glue" in GG4's name refers to its tendency to "glue" patients to the couch — a testament to its powerful sedating effects. After initial cerebral euphoria, the heavy indica influence takes over with full-body relaxation that few strains can match. For patients with severe insomnia, particularly those who have failed multiple pharmaceutical sleep aids, GG4 offers a powerful alternative. Most patients report being unable to resist sleep within 30-60 minutes of administration.

Resin & Flavour

GG4's extreme resin production creates a distinctive visual presentation — buds are coated in thick, frosty trichomes that literally feel sticky to the touch. The flavour profile combines earthy, piney notes with diesel fuel undertones and hints of chocolate from its Chocolate Diesel parentage. When vaporised, the initial flavour is pungent and earthy, mellowing to sweet chocolate on the exhale.
